The host is cute and charming, who doesn’t love the charming wife?

"Tell me, did I do something wrong?"

Although it made some sense, Mu Zian understood what he meant.

Deep down, Mu Zian has actually been very conflicted.

He was afraid that if the emperor continued to favor Ruan Miaomiao unconditionally, Ruan Miaomiao would sooner or later fall in love with him.

But if it's not good, he will feel sad.

These two emotions kept circling in his mind, appearing from time to time and hindering his judgment.

So when Xiao Chenjing asked him, he suddenly didn't know how to answer.

"This……"

However, his hesitation was seen by Xiao Chenjing as a sign of acquiescence.

Because I was concerned about his identity, I didn't know how to answer.

In fact, he already had the answer in his heart, and he asked Mu Zian just to verify his guess.

"But she actually wanted to monopolize the emperor's favor! You know, she was even jealous when I went to Xianfu Palace to visit Rou'er."

Xiao Chenjing seemed to be talking to himself, but also seemed to want Mu Zian to take his place.

"I am the emperor. This status means that I cannot always go to her place. She doesn't understand this truth."

Having said that, even Mu Zian understood what he meant.

He smiled and echoed Xiao Chenjing's words, "That's right, what is the emperor? He is the Son of Heaven, the ruler of a country!

To put it bluntly, anyone who enters the palace and is favored by the emperor is his woman. Why should he be angry over one person?

At worst, I won’t go to her place anymore.”

"Why do I feel so uncomfortable listening to your words?"

He turned and looked at him, looking surprised.

"What do you mean if I like her, she's mine? It's as if I'm a robber... or a robber who's obsessed with lust!"

Isn’t it?

Mu Zian complained in his heart, would you just watch the person you like fall in love with someone else instead of choosing yourself?

But on the surface, I still have to pretend that I said something wrong.

"Oh! Your Majesty is certainly not that kind of person. Your Majesty, please don't say that about me. It's all my fault. I deserve to be beaten!"

As he said this, he raised his hand to hit himself in the face.

"Stop, stop, stop!"

How could Xiao Chenjing really punish Mu Zian for this matter?

After all, he was the one who brought up the topic first.

"Okay, okay, I know you didn't mean it."

Then he continued to lead his men forward, and when he saw Xianfu Palace right in front of him, he took a deep breath.

"I still won't go in. Zi'an, please go visit Concubine Xian for me, and ask Elder Qi to come over tomorrow."

Mr. Qi is an old imperial physician who has specialized in treating emperors of all dynasties. He has superb medical skills and can be called a national expert.

If Tang Rouer really had any hidden illness, she wouldn't have kept putting it off.

Mu Zian paused. He didn't expect that the emperor had already reached the gate of Xianfu Palace. He only needed to take three or four more steps to go in.

But in the end, he had no intention of taking a step forward.

"……Yes."

It seems that unknowingly, Ruan Miaomiao has occupied a very important position in Xiao Chenjing's heart.

Otherwise, His Majesty would not have done so.

Xiao Chenjing just stood there and watched Mu Zian being welcomed in.

Later, Tang Rouer's personal maid Moli personally escorted the person out the door.

"How about it?"

Seeing Mu Zian coming out, Xiao Chenjing asked slowly.

Of course Mu Zian didn't dare to hide anything and reported to him everything he had seen and heard.

Xiao Chenjing breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that Tang Rouer was not in any serious trouble.

The whole person suddenly felt completely relaxed.

He turned around immediately and said, "I'm glad you're okay."

He returned along the way he came. "Now that I have visited, I will return to where I should go."

Later on, he even sat in a sedan chair to travel.

……

"My lady, why are you in such a hurry to get rid of Eunuch Mu? I heard from Xiaohui that the emperor is at the door..."

Looking at Tang Rouer who was sitting in front of the mirror and starting to remove her armor, Jasmine was a little confused.

The emperor has come in person and is standing at the door. Anyone who wants to fight for it will go out and take a look.

Maybe His Majesty will stay tonight?

This time it wasn't them who went to intercept people, it was the Emperor who came himself.

Could it be that her master is still afraid of that Concubine Xi?

Jasmine was puzzled.

As if she could see through her thoughts, Tang Rouer took off her clothes and then put her hands into the water, soaking and washing them repeatedly.

He said slowly: "Don't you understand this?"

"Your Majesty may still have some affection for me because of the past, but the fact that he refused to enter my house today has already made his attitude clear."

"What attitude?"

Jasmine was even more confused.

But Tang Rouer didn't intend to say too much, just smiled faintly.

"I know my body well, there's nothing wrong with me. I did that at the party because I didn't want to stay any longer... I didn't have any problem with her.

On the contrary, if I open the door and let His Majesty in, it would be a clear sign that I am going to compete with her."

"Then..."

Jasmine stopped talking immediately because she saw the meaning in her mistress's eyes.

She gradually realized a terrible truth: her mistress didn't seem to care much whether the emperor came or not.

Or, she doesn't care──Your Majesty? !

After figuring this out, Jasmine looked at Tang Rouer lying on the bed, not knowing how to react.

"Close the window."

"Yes!"

The journey there took quite a while, but the return journey was compressed into ten minutes.

However, what awaited him was a closed door.

Without Xiao Chenjing saying anything, Mu Zian went forward and knocked on the door.

"The emperor is here, open the door!"

But he shouted three times, and there was still no response.

This……

Mu Zian had no choice but to go back and wait for Xiao Chenjing's instructions.

"Your Majesty, Lady Xipin seems to have fallen asleep..."

"The master has fallen asleep. Could it be that everyone in the hall has fallen asleep?!"

Xiao Chenjing was almost laughing because of Ruan Miaomiao.

There is no doubt that this must have been her order, otherwise the door would not have been blocked.

The eunuchs who were on guard today listened to the sound outside the door, looked at each other, and dared not say a word.

The whole person was tense, afraid of being implicated.

Xiao Chenjing knew Ruan Miaomiao's daily routine and was aware that she was still angry with him.

But indeed, from her perspective, Xiao Chenjing also understood a little.

In that case, "Go back."

"Ah? Back to where?"

Xiao Chenjing glanced at Mu Zian with disdain and said impatiently: "Of course I'm going back to the Qianqing Palace. Otherwise, where do you think I'm going back to?"

Mu Zian nodded repeatedly.

Therefore, the sedan chair must be lifted up soon after it lands on the ground.

"Set up your posture and return to the Palace of Heavenly Purity—"

Mu Zian shouted this loudly and long, ensuring that the people inside could hear it clearly.

This night passed peacefully.
